after two months using my Captur, i just notice that the default status of AC is ON, you should turn it OFF if you don't want to use it !!

You should leave it on most of the time to keep the seals and compressor lubricated

I was driving with mine on for nearly 4 months!

I drive with mine on, always. The ECO setting in its "on" position will control the A/C to permit a balance between economy and usability. Letting the climate control do all the decision making.
The A/C is not just for hot weather. Cold and damp conditions also require the A/C to be on. This will help clear the windscreen and quarter-lights.

The AC is on by default ....and I can't fault it...it's perfect in any conditions...and I'm won over to it...yet NEVER had it in my own previous cars!
Again, I point out that even if it takes a 'little' on the fuel economy , I'm not bothered...as IT'S GREAT!

Quite often with climate control systems, the air con is on as standard and needs to be switched off.. It is only a switch away..!
